The outside lane of I-10 eastbound between mile marker 116.5 and 117 will be closed beginning Thursday, October 10 at 10 p.m. until Friday, October 11 at 6 a.m., weather permitting.

This closure is necessary to allow the contractor to pour an approach slab on the Bayou Portage Overpass.

This work is related to the FASTLANE I-10 widening project (State Project Number H.003014). This $54.7 million project will involve pavement replacement within the existing lanes in each direction for 2.7 miles along I-10 from LA 347 to the base of the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge. An additional lane will be added in the westbound direction.

With the help of the FASTLANE grant, this is the second of three projects to reconstruct and widen the I-10 corridor from I-49 to the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge.

The project began in July 2017 and is estimated for completion in 2020.
